Yay! So she's breathing air? I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'll probably be in front of the incubator all day. Lol.Oh so exciting! She looks good! The clicking is a sound they make when their respiratory system kicks in; you’ll hear it when they start breathing and it’s a different sound to the tapping they do on the shell.it’s a good sign!
I know I would be
If it’s that rhythmic click, click, each time she breathes, yep, she’s breathing air! I don’t blame you, I’d be the same! *sorry boss, I can’t come into work today, I have to camp out beside my incubator* haha.
Tomorrow at 6 pm
Now guess when mine will hatch.
Yep!
just changed it. I have two Isabella leghorns due tomorrow, 4 Slash Bresse and another red Dorkin due the 26th, and 1 Isabella leghorns due the 31st. That's why I was not happy with my Jonwhatever incubator acting up. I lockdown in the brinsea.
What do you have incubating still? I love little Seven's pic in your avatar.
Ooh, Bresses. I want to have some some day. They're such cool big birds, and I really don't like Cornish Xs. The poor birds can't even function.
I love that LOL

Hm...aren't they used as meat birds though? I just think they look fun honestly, lol. I'm not opposed to people using Cornish cross of course, I just know if I was going to raise birds for eating I wouldn't want to raise them. Esp. since they can't reproduce on their own. We eat chicken from the store, I'm sure it's probably Cornish crosses.(Bresse are just fatter leghorns. I went back to Cornish Cross, I've got teenage boys to feed after all.
@MGG Just watching your progress and pushing lots of like buttons, lol. I'm glad this is working out for you so far. I do love experiments...
